Long time, no journal! <3

• Pages!
I've concluded that my method for pages with an "aged paper" appearance was too manufactured, sloppy, enveloping, noisy, and cluttered. I spent an entire day making a batch of paper textures to use and reworking my page-making method. I've redone all of the second chapter to match. I'm a bit too lazy to update the first chapter, so I'll leave it as-is. Next on my schedule is to make corrections to the Phantasmagorian page method. Last will be the Dream method, which may see less drastic modifications.
Before and after...

• Thank you!
I wanted to post a formal thank you to everyone who has helped me so far with critiques, comments, suggestions, and recommendations. I greatly appreciate all of your help, and am throughly grateful for the improvements that couldn't have come without your time and effort.
This includes everyone from the critique exchange in ComicCue as well as passerbys of the mirrored posts on DevArt, and the friends/colleagues who have lent me a few of their moments on occasion as well.
Your help has all been very generous, and I hope to have more feedback in the future. :D
This is an ever-evolving experiment, so let's make it the best there is!

MiX over and out.
